Must-see places in
Franche-Comté
The village of Beaumotte-Aubertans lies between the town of Vesoul and the capital of the Franche-Comté region, Besançon. In Vesoul, we recommend a visit to La Motte, for breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding plain, the Vosges, the Jura and even the Alps. We also recommend a visit to the old centre of Vesoul and the Solborde cave (at Echenoz la Méline).
Besançon is a city renowned for its architectural wealth, with its Vauban citadel and underground passageways a must-see. You should also visit the following sites: the Cathedral’s Astronomical Clock, the Museum of Time, Parc Micaud and Parc de la Gare d’Eau… So many ideas for visiting this sublime region full of history !
